Optimizzy wrote:Hey guys. I have a question and would like some opinions:
I have a Classics 2.0 Ironhide and have used him as the stand-in for that character but lately I have just not felt that that toy fit the character correctly. That version is just a little too portly for how I image Ironhide.
I've been thinking of getting the Arms Micron Ironhide. What is everyone's opinion on that mold? I like the cyberverse version but wondered about the deluxe.
Thanks.

For some reason I really hope there will be a WFC/FOC Ironhide (or Ratchet). But if Hasbro really makes one, it better be a taller deluxe. Like WFC Optimus. Not the current tiny deluxe.

I always felt that Prime Kup would make an excellent Brawn and you have just proved it, over to eBay to find one going cheap.

I actually like him a lot. One of my favorite movie Hides. I don't dig the single cannon though and I wish the head had some more shadows to it. It's a good version though. Just not the overall look I want.

The guy is cheap. So, buy 2, give the first one the other cannon and do a black wash on his face.

How much was the specialist mold when it came out?

Yeah, I've done washes on figures. I just mean it as a general observations. It's a good one, but the design is too movieverse for what I want. I like the suggestions though. Two of those big cannons would be awesome.

They were $120.00 a piece, I believe. They came with a ridiculous amount of accessories and extra heads to help offset that cost a bit, though.
They were re-released earlier this year/late last year as another form of specialist with all but the hand pistol and replacement heads removed. Those were priced at $99.99 a piece.
Last month, I believe, BBTS had the Ratchet version on sale for $69.99 (a one day sale) and that's the one I bought. It was well worth it. It's torso is more red than Ratchet's ever was, plus it comes with the First Aid head already attached, but it comes with a G1 show accurate (or close to it) head that you can put on.
I've not Reprolabeled it, nor does the extra red plastic bother me. He was quite a nice figure, right out of the box, honestly. I do have two recommendations, however. Do the mod that allows his vehicle's nose piece to flip up so you can fold all of the panels on what becomes his backpack, and be extremely careful with those leg/roof panels. They're kind of a pain in the ass. lol
